# sapi_windows_vt100_support

(PHP 7 >= 7.2.0, PHP 8)

sapi_windows_vt100_support — Get or set VT100 support for the specified stream associated to an output buffer of a Windows console.

### Beschreibung

sapi_windows_vt100_support(resource `$stream`, ?bool `$enable` = `null`): bool

If `enable` is `null`, the function returns `true` if the stream `stream` has VT100 control codes enabled, `false` otherwise.

If `enable` is a bool, the function will try to enable or disable the VT100 features of the stream `stream`. If the feature has been successfully enabled (or disabled), the function will return `true`, or `false` otherwise.

At startup, PHP tries to enable the VT100 feature of the `STDOUT`/`STDERR` streams. By the way, if those streams are redirected to a file, the VT100 features may not be enabled.

If VT100 support is enabled, it is possible to use control sequences as they are known from the VT100 terminal. They allow the modification of the terminal's output. On Windows these sequences are called Console Virtual Terminal Sequences.

Warnung

This function uses the `ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING` flag implemented in the Windows 10 API, so the VT100 feature may not be available on older Windows versions.

### Parameter-Liste

`stream`

  The stream on which the function will operate.

`enable`

  If bool, the VT100 feature will be enabled (if `true`) or disabled (if `false`).

### Rückgabewerte

If `enable` is `null`: returns `true` if the VT100 feature is enabled, `false` otherwise.

If `enable` is a bool: Gibt bei Erfolg `true` zurück. Bei einem Fehler wird `false` zurückgegeben.

### Changelog

8.0.0 | `enable` is now nullable.

### Beispiele

Beispiel #1 sapi_windows_vt100_support() default state

By default, `STDOUT` and `STDERR` have the VT100 feature enabled.

    php -r "var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDOUT));echo ' ';var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDERR));"

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:

    true true

By the way, if a stream is redirected, the VT100 feature will not be enabled:

    php -r "var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDOUT));echo ' ';var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDERR));" 2>NUL

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:

true false

Beispiel #2 sapi_windows_vt100_support() changing state

You won't be able to enable the VT100 feature of `STDOUT` or `STDERR` if the stream is redirected.

    php -r "var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDOUT, true));echo ' ';var_export(sapi_windows_vt100_support(STDERR, true));" 2>NUL

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:

    true false

Beispiel #3 Example usage of VT100 support enabled

`<?php
$out = fopen('php://stdout','w');
fwrite($out, 'Just forgot a lettr.');
// Moves the cursor two characters backwards
fwrite($out, "\033[2D");
// Inserts one blank, shifting existing text to the right -> Just forgot a lett r.
fwrite($out, "\033[1@");
fwrite($out, 'e');
?>`

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

    Just forgot a letter.
